Field designs and builds innovative solutions for improving child survival and access to health commodities in several African countries, with a focus on innovative logistics solutions. Our team works from Berlin, Germany and Abuja, Nigeria. We’re looking for engaged people to work with us on the technology which powers our projects. We believe that only diverse teams can build strong solutions to the often wicked problems that health systems in emerging contexts face. We believe people matter the most - those we work with and that we work for. We believe in the power of careful design, incorrigible curiosity, and respect for the people and challenges we engage with. Our aim is to make a meaningful, positive and lasting impact on communities’ access to healthcare.

- You will work closely with our development teams in Nigeria and Europe, supporting them with deployment and hosting infrastructure, designing solutions to challenges of scale, security and reliability.
- This is a full-time position based in or around Berlin or Abuja. We primarily work remotely but find it useful to be able to meet up from time to time. Part-time work is possible.
